Use the report
This report helps management and sales teams track the sales amounts that each salesperson generates and their contribution to the overall revenue.
Sales managers can use the report to monitor the sales performance of each salesperson and identify top-performers. For example, this information is helpful when you determine rewards. The report also helps identify under-performers who perhaps need support.
